Election Day

March 9, 1986

BOGOTA, COLOMBIA — Colombians will be voting today to elect members of the National Assembly, state legislatures and about 1,000 municipal councils. Three left- wing guerrilla organizations have vowed to disrupt the voting, and the national police and army said they would have 200,000 men on guard against them and right-wing death squads. Rightist extremists are believed responsible for the killing of a council candidate in Villarica, 85 miles south of Bogota.
